The Ri Boku Army is an army of the Zhao Military led by Great General Ri Boku of the Three Great Heavens and is considered as the strongest army in the State of Zhao.
History[]
Before he made a name for himself across the Warring States, Ri Boku was mostly known for subduing the Xiongnu threat to the north of Zhao which constantly raids the northern part of Zhao, which no other general could. While serving in the region of Ganmon, the army's cavalry had acquired horsemanship of an equal level to the Northen horseman tribes. This skill would prove to be a huge advantage in future battles.
Story[]
Battle of Bayou Arc[]
Ri Boku's army was introduced during Zhao's invasion in Qin. While remaining in the shadows at first, when the Zhao army was about to be attacked by both sides and seemed cornered, the Ri Boku army appeared and attacked Ou Ki's army from the rear, revealing that the great general Ri Boku was the mastermind behind the invasion all along.
Coalition Invasion Arc[]
Battle of Kankoku Pass[]
After setting the initiative for the creation of the coalition army, Ri Boku set his army at the far-left part of the battlefield, right against the army of general Duke Hyou. On the night of the 15th day, Ri Boku, seemingly frustrated by Chu's failure, took his army and departed from headquarters.
Battle of Sai[]
It was later revealed that Ri Boku had been sending portions of his army each day through a secret mountain passage that led to the middle of the southern pass to Kanyou. After joining his army, Ri Boku conquered city after city in his path reaching closer and closer to his goal, the Qin capital. However, Duke Hyou's instinct leads him to follow Ri Boku and he managed to meet his army just before they reached Kanyou. The Qin then rallied a last stand in the city of Sai, where even the Ei Sei, the king of Qin joined the fighting. The Ri Boku army had to besiege Sai, to destroy Qin completely. But their siege ring was broken by the mountain tribemen, that came to aid Qin. The Ri Boku army had to retreat.
Western Zhao Invasion Arc[]
Ri Boku and army would lead the defense of Western Zhao. He tried to request King Tou Jou to reinforce him with the Kantan Army but was rebuffed. He instead takes Shun Sui Ju to command Ryouyou's defense with the city forces. While he led the Atsuyo defense.
Battle at Shukai Plains[]
Ri Boku divided his army into fronts - Ki Sui's Ki Sui Army, Kin Mou and Ba Nan Ji on the left, Gyou'un, Chou Ga Ryuu and Gaku'Ei on the right, and himself on center.
Ri Boku would send Shun Sui Ju, his trusted adjutant to relive Kou Son Ryuu and take over as the Commander-in-Chief for the Battle of Ryouyou. Shun Sui Ju would also involve Rozo, the King of Ryouyou's Quanrong and city lord against Yo Tan Wa Army and Heki Army.
Both respective armies lost many of their soldiers. However, the deaths of Rozo and Hou Ken were the final nail in the coffin. Tou Jou, Zhao King commanded Ri Boku's arrest. The Ri Boku Army, however, didn't take this light, and as a result, they dispersed towards Kantan after learning of their leader's arrest.
Zhao Crisis Arc[]
Led by Shun Sui Ju and assisted by Kaine, the officers of army launched attacks against Tou Jou's loyalists in order to rescue Ri Boku, but in many cases, they were set up by the loyalists and nearly wiped out.

Abilities[]
Due to the fierce clashes between the northern Xiongnu tribes in that region, their cavalry acquired horsemanship of an equal level to the Xiongnu.
All the officers in the army are well-educated in warfare and capable of quickly reading the enemy's formations and reacting accordingly even without Ri Boku's command. The army is also capable of performing advanced military formations like Ryuudou and the Great Crane Formation.
After his encounter with Duke Hyou, Ri Boku was able to deconstruct and decipher the mechanism of instinctual warfare. He then hammered that knowledge into the strategic commanders and soldiers under his command. Emerging from that crucible was a new hybrid army, one that combined the strengths of both the strategical and instinctual.
